Q: How to create links to sections on the same page (but different tab) in HTML As the question says I want to make hypertext in my page which contains 4 tabs (R Markdown file knitted as HTML).
I know this method works well within the same page that doesn't have different tabs but it didn't work with me.
Using the #id selector

Hyperlinks are utilized by a web browser to move from one page to another...

Creating a link to the selector
Take me to the opening paragraph.
Can you please help me with that?
For example in the "home" tab I want a hypertext that directs the user to a specific section in "about us" tab
Thanks in advance
Btw, I am using HTML with R Markdown to knit the file.

A: This is something that you can do. You can assign a width and height for your container, then overflow: auto. Each children has to have the same height and same width as the container, therefore, if you have several children, this will overflow.
What the hyperlink or tab does when you click, it scroll to view on the said children.

.container {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  overflow: auto;
}

.child {
  display: block;

Toe party line or face expulsion: President

Source: Toe party line or face expulsion: President | The Herald
President Mnangagwa
From George Maponga in Masvingo
PARTY leaders who were recently elected in District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections should follow the Zanu PF constitution or risk expulsion if they engage in counterproductive plots, President Mnangagwa said.
Addressing hundreds of people, including Zanu PF supporters at Jenya Secondary School in Chivi North after DCC chairpersons for all the seven districts in Masvingo had been introduced to him by the party national political commissar Cde Victor Matemadanda, the President underscored the importance of unity in the revolutionary party.
"My message to those who were elected into the DCCs is that the party (Zanu PF) has a constitution and that constitution must be followed. Those who will try to burn midnight candles trying to make plots and sub-plots will be suspended and expelled from the party. There is no room for such leaders in Zanu PF. We do not countenance members who take issues outside the party, there are channels and procedures to be followed when members want redress," he said.
The President said the DCCs should strengthen the party, urging those who lost to graciously accept the results and work towards ensuring the party wins the 2023 elections resoundingly.
He chronicled the history of DCCs from the time when they were disbanded in 2014 until their revival in 2019.
"As you know we used to have DCCs some time back and when we were approaching party internal elections the chorus across the whole country within the DCCs was that they wanted Cde Mnangagwa (to be party Vice President at the time) and those who were in control at that time said let's do away with them and they were disbanded," said President Mnangagwa.
"However after that at our last party annual conference it was resolved that the DCCs be brought back. It's the people who said they must be brought back and the voice of the people is the voice of God, so the DCCs are back."
President Mnangagwa added that there is no need for genuine cadres to fight for positions as those who remain loyal would always be rewarded for their unwavering support and leadership.
He said leaders who thought they were bigger than Zanu PF would always be proved wrong, with those who will try to use their new positions in the revived DCCs to foment divisions going to be checkmated.
The Zanu PF First Secretary reiterated the importance of unity and selfless sacrifice which was a hallmark of all yesteryear party greats and icons who took up arms to liberate the country.
"Every time there is a contest for positions within a party there is bound to be clashes and fights but at the end the winner should be humble enough to embrace the loser and say let us work together for the good of the party and the same applies to the loser, the loser should always be bold enough to work with the winner to take the party forward," he said.
"Loyal cadres always remain consistent and unwavering and the people will always reward them for that at the end, because they would have seen the track record of loyalty."
In his address at the same event, Cde Matemadanda had warned Zanu PF members across the country to refrain from creating fissures in the party over DCC polls, saying those with grievances should use party channels to air them.

Opinion: Leaders in college football coming to grips with reality that sport is too risky to play amid pandemic
Dan Wolken
The conversations and considerations that have led college football to the confusing place it finds itself in on Aug. 9 are endlessly complex, but the question that will determine whether other leagues follow the Mid-American Conference in canceling their fall season is relatively straightforward.
Would you stake your career on college football being safe under these circumstances?
No matter how else administrators have tried to rationalize the push forward toward a fall season for months and months, the chill of trepidation that has settled over college sports in recent days bears a distinct resemblance to the consciousness of guilt.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing a season until it becomes realistically impossible to do so, especially given the severe consequences for all of college sports if football is not played this year.
But in conversations with more than a dozen college sports officials over the weekend, the witching hour has brought to campuses and college presidents a more clear-eyed reality about what they don't know related to COVID-19 and the potential liabilities surrounding a virus whose long-term impact on the body is unclear. There is also, at the most basic level, little confidence that the trajectory of infections in the United States is going to end up at an acceptable rate within the next month or two that would allow a contact sport to even take place safely without players being put in a bubble.
ESPN was reporting Sunday that multiple sources confirmed that the Power Five conference commissioners held an "emergency meeting" Sunday to discuss the viability of a 2020 college football season.
The problem is, nobody wants to be the one to say what the majority of college athletics now instinctively knows: Rushing to play football right now just isn't a very good idea.
"The overriding piece of this is it's just not clearing up like we all hoped," said one athletics director, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the fluidity of the situation. "This is just too difficult for us to really believe that it's right for us to go forward at the moment. It feels like we're heading for a pause."
People can argue whether the MAC's decision to shut down fall sports was completely about the health and safety, as the league claimed Saturday, or because the finances no longer made sense without the ability to make money off non-conference games against Power Five opponents. Both things can be true.
But at least the MAC was willing to make a decision and own it, regardless of the blowback. Eventually, other schools and conferences will have to make a tough call, and they know that if they decide to play this fall, they have to be right. That's by far the scariest part because, with COVID-19, it tends to be the most uninformed who speak with the most certainty.
For instance, potential cardiac issues related to COVID-19 have been discussed for months as a major unknown. As far back as May, sports cardiologist Jonathan H. Kim of Emory University co-authored an opinion piece that suggested athletes who become infected should not exercise for two weeks after their symptoms resolve and should undergo extensive cardiac testing to look for underlying heart inflammation.
But as the scheduled games get closer, the issue is suddenly getting a second look. According to one person with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, a group of Pac 12 presidents has become significantly concerned about the data they've been given as players have undergone necessary cardiac tests.
A Sports Illustrated piece on Sunday anonymously quoted a team doctor who was aware of 10 COVID-related heart issues on college football teams, and a recent paper published in JAMA Cardiology found that 78 of 100 patients they studied had cardiac abnormalities more than two months after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
This brings up two very important questions, particularly at schools that have had large numbers of players test positive for the coronavirus. First, has everyone's testing on the cardiac part been adequate enough? Second, what is the risk of a player who recovered from COVID-19 dying on the practice field or in the middle of a game due to a related heart issue?
"The studies have a lot of people thinking," said one athletics director. "Not everybody does baseline heart testing the same way and that's a concern trying to understand more about the research. Does it heighten or expose someone with a preexisting condition or did this happen because of COVID? We're dealing with something there aren't known answers for yet, and we don't have the benefit of time to see how it all works out. That's what has everyone additionally concerned."
In retrospect, as you talk to administrators, many now wistfully admit that college football was doomed as soon as COVID-19 and the notion of public health became politicized. And they know that, too, will rear its ugly head if the season is canceled — not just from some fans and donors who will baselessly accuse schools of kowtowing to liberal academics but perhaps even from President Trump, who has specifically talked about college football coming back as an aspirational normality.
As much as the power conferences have wanted to act in concert, there is still no agreement about the path ahead. The Big Ten and Pac 12 are likely joined at the hip, and both leagues have factions that are ready to pack it in, though it's unclear whether they'll reach a consensus on that in the next few days. But once a couple leagues make that call, it's hard to imagine the momentum not sweeping up the rest.
Then the discussion turns to a season being played in the spring, a topic that has ardent fans and significant detractors. Some schools believe the operational cost of running a normal athletic department through the fall with the hope of playing in the spring makes no sense, particularly since nobody knows whether the conditions around COVID-19 will improve by then. Others think there's little to lose and envision a shortened season ending by May 1 and then starting the 2021 season in October to give players more time to recover.
"Come March, who knows what the country could have (regarding vaccine, testing, therapeutics and infection numbers)," said one administrator who favors the spring plan. "Certainly better than right now."
Slowly but surely, college sports is coming to grips with both the ramifications of these decisions and the necessity in making them. In the end, the people in charge are beginning to realize the biggest factor in whether college football can be played was out of their hands all along.
"The virus is not athletics' problem," said one athletics director. "It is society's. But athletics couldn't safely adapt."
And until that happens, the ultimate test for college sports remains simple. Unless the people in charge would stake their careers on it being safe enough to play, the other factors don't really matter.


It's a HOUZER original. Our porcelain enamel sinks feature a light and resilient steel core that is a brilliant departure from the heavy cast iron foundation of other porcelain enamel sinks. The fact that our porcelain enamel sinks are only 65% of the weight of typical cast iron sinks enables designers to install porcelain enamel where they couldn't before.
HOUZER porcelain enamel sinks provide the glossy look and feel people know and love about porcelain enamel. It's an enduring finish that's been honored and appreciated throughout history.
HOUZER uses an enameling process that traces its inspiration back to 2000BC and the first Greek craftsmen to fuse metal and glass. We start with a genuine HOUZER steel sink that is coated with high performing materials twice—first with a ground coat and second with a cover coat—and then fired at 1500° F after each application. The heat bonds the coatings with the metal to create a high-shine finish that's impact, heat, stain, chip, scratch and even germ-resistant.
Our exclusive porcelain enamel process is featured in the sinks of our Porcela series. Porcela offers a selection of four popular styles, each available in black, biscuit, espresso, navy blue or white. Each comes with a 10-year warranty—a testament to the enduring nature of our porcelain enamel.
If you love porcelain, steel this look for your kitchen.


After selling their paletas for more than 35 years, the Rios family is now serving up sweet and savory bites in a new cafe across from Harrison Park.
PILSEN — For the past 35 years, the Rios family has made a name for themselves in Pilsen with their delectable paletas and assorted pastries under the name Paletas Emmanuel and Pan Emmanuel.
Now, the family, which has mostly sold their paletas — fruit-based ice pops — and baked goods through street vendors and grocery stores, is offering their signature treats, along with tamales and more at their new shop Cafe Emmanuel, 1915 W. 19th St., across from Harrison Park.
Owners Martha Rios, 65, and Miguel Rios, 70, opened the cafe in late October after their loyal customers asked them to open up a flagship shop for their paletas and pan.
Cafe Emmanuel is open seven days a week at 1915 W. 19th Street in Pilsen.
The cafe — nestled between the park, the National Museum of Mexican Art and the Damen Pink Line Stop — currently serves up coffee, atole and champurrado (Mexican hot chocolate) alongside an assortment of baked goods made in-house. The 15-seat cafe offers pan de queso, empanadas, conchas, Madalenas, pound cake, and more, for under $1.50.
Conchas, made in-house, and other baked goods are sold at Cafe Emmanuel.
On weekeneds, the Rios family also sells freshly made chicken and pork tamales out of the cafe.
The family plans to expand the cafe's menu soon, adding sandwiches, tortas, paninis and salads to their offerings. During the weekends, Cafe Emmanuel will also offer a breakfast menu that includes pancakes, ham and eggs, bacon and eggs. Menudo and pazole — traditional Mexican soups — will also be added to the menu in the coming weeks.
Emmanuel "Manny" Rios, 35, who is helping his parents run the cafe alongside his siblings, said he wants to give neighbors quick grab-and-go options for folks in a hurry to get to the train.
Martha Rios came from Michoacan in 1981 after her husband arrived to Chicago a decade earlier. The family moved their business to a number of neighborhoods across the city before settling in Pilsen in 1996.
In the early days, the Rios children would help their parents package the paletas and breads, and sold the paletas on the street.
Thanks to help from local vendors like Cermak Produce, El Guero, La Rosita and other local Pilsen and Little Village grocery stores, their paleta and pan business thrived on the Southwest Side. They've even sold their baked goods out of state to stores in Indiana and Kentucky.
Before opening the cafe this year, residents would flock to the family's pop-up shop, which they would only open for weeks at a time, for specialty bread made during Dia de los Muertos and Dia de los Reyes.
The family has an altar from Dia de los Muertos displayed at the Cafe.
Now, with more events at the National Museum of Mexican Art, they have seen more people stopping by.
Cafe Emmanuel is open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday.

A mom's viral Instagram post about her daughter and a black doll is melting hearts.
Evan Porter
Some excellent work on the potty earned 2-year-old Sophia a trip to Target and a chance to pick out whatever toy she wanted.
According to an Instagram post by Sophia's mom, Brandi Benner of South Carolina, she had promised Sophia a big reward after a successful month of potty training.
After just a few minutes perusing the aisles, Sophia zeroed in on a black doll dressed up as a doctor — her dream job. In 2017, you'd think this wouldn't be a big deal.
But ... you'd be wrong.
When it was time to check out, Benner wrote, the cashier looked befuddled over why a white girl would want a black doll.
Was it a gift for a birthday party? Did Sophia pick it out for a friend?
Nope, Sophia confirmed. The doll was for her and it was definitely the one she wanted.
But the cashier pressed on. Benner recounted the rest of the exchange on Instagram"
"The cashier replied, 'But she doesn't look like you. We have lots of other dolls that look more like you.'
I immediately became angry, but before I could say anything, Sophia responded with, 'Yes, she does. She's a doctor like I'm a doctor. And I'm a pretty girl and she's a pretty girl. See her pretty hair? And see her stethoscope?' Thankfully the cashier decided to drop the issue and just answer, 'Oh, that's nice.'
This experience just confirmed my belief that we aren't born with the idea that color matters. Skin comes in different colors just like hair and eyes and every shade is beautiful."
Nick and I told Sophia that after 1 whole month of going poop on the potty, she could pick out a special prize at Target. She, of course, picked a new doll. The obsession is real. While we were checking out, the cashier asked Sophia if she was going to a birthday party. We both gave her a blank stare. She then pointed to the doll and asked Sophia if she picked her out for a friend. Sophia continued to stare blankly and I let the cashier know that she was a prize for Sophia being fully potty trained. The woman gave me a puzzled look and turned to Sophia and asked, "Are you sure this is the doll you want, honey?" Sophia finally found her voice and said, "Yes, please!" The cashier replied, "But she doesn't look like you. We have lots of other dolls that look more like you." I immediately became angry, but before I could say anything, Sophia responded with, "Yes, she does. She's a doctor like I'm a doctor. And I'm a pretty girl and she's a pretty girl. See her pretty hair? And see her stethoscope?" Thankfully the cashier decided to drop the issue and just answer, "Oh, that's nice." This experience just confirmed my belief that we aren't born with the idea that color matters. Skin comes in different colors just like hair and eyes and every shade is beautiful. #itswhatsontheinsidethatcounts #allskinisbeautiful #teachlove #teachdiversity #thenextgenerationiswatching
A post shared by Brandi Benner (@leilani324) on Mar 31, 2017 at 1:39pm PDT
Sophia's amazing response illuminates an important responsibility of white parenting.
The likes and comments began pouring in instantly, with strangers praising both Sophia's kind spirit and Brandi's top-notch parenting skills. But as the story went viral, one thing stood out: Sophia knew the doll didn't have the same color skin as her. She just chose to focus on the things the two of them had in common.
In other words, the goal shouldn't be to teach our kids that race doesn't exist, or to raise them "colorblind."
In fact, studies show that even if white parents don't bring it up, their kids will notice sooner rather than later that not everyone looks like them. What matters is that they learn race isn't — and shouldn't be — something that divides us.
Sounds like Sophia already understands this, which puts her well on her way to becoming a good human. There's no doubt her parents are extremely proud of their little girl this week.

A hamper project launched in the summer to help households struggling with the cost of feeding their families has been hailed a success after hundreds of food parcels were delivered.
Midlands landlord whg set up the School's Out scheme to support families feeling the financial strain of school holidays.
A recent government report estimated that around 3 million children in the UK are at risk of going hungry over the school holidays, as families, especially those who would normally receive free school meals for their children, struggle with additional costs.
As part of the project whg delivered more than 100 hampers to some of Walsall's most vulnerable families.
It also delivered more than 150 children's shoe boxes, preloved school uniform and, working with Mothercare, handed out new clothes to families with children under the age of five.
Social Inclusion Manager Connie Jennings said: "The School's Out Project has been a huge success and our thanks go out to all those partners and local businesses who have been so generous with their support.
"It was a great way to give local residents a hands up and ease the pressure on household budgets. It's very difficult to put into words how overwhelmed and grateful the families who received support were and to describe the broader positive impact the donations have had.
The project culminated in a celebratory meal at The Workplace in Leamore, where charity The Midland Langar Seva Society (MLSS) provided families with a free hot meal.


"[p]roperty of all kinds, real and personal, tangible or intangible…which belong to any person…" Examples of assets include cash, stocks, bonds, investments, properties, businesses, or anything else owned by a person that has economic value. Assets may range from obvious real property or jewelry to more obscure assets like patents or copyrights.
According to Black's Law Dictionary an estate is "…totality of assets and liabilities of decedent, including all manner of property, real and personal, choate or inchoate, corporeal or incorporeal." In layman's terms, an estate includes the sum of a person's assets (cash, investments, property, and businesses) minus all of the person's liabilities (debts owed). After death, the decedent's estate may be evaluated by the courts through the probate process.
Merriam Webster defines grief as "deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement." For more information and resources about grief visit our Health & Wellness page.
Black's Law Dictionary defines probate as "the legal process that officially proves the validity of a will. This includes an inventory of the decedent's property, resolving all debts and claims, and distribution of the decedent's estate." For more information visit our Wills & Probate page.
Black's Law Dictionary defines a liability as "any obligation to repay economic value." Examples of liabilities may include credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, or any other obligations that are owed.
Black's Law Dictionary defines testate as "one who has made a will; one who dies leaving a will." One who dies without a will would be considered "intestate".


I've recently become enamored of Chinese bakery items such as bo lo bao (pineapple bun) and gai mei bao (cocktail bun).
As far as pineapple buns go, I understand the moniker is due to the appearance of the bun. However, it seems like some bakeries will put a filling of pastry cream (or something like that), red bean paste, or char siu. Is it my imagination, or have some bakeries even put a filling of pineapple in said buns?
So far I've only had the buns from the bakery at Clement BBQ. Are there others I should try?
They have pineapple buns with cold butter and filled buns.
I have not tried the pineapple buns from Pineapple King but have heard they are quite decent (if you are not picky and not comparing it to HK).
The addition of filling inside the pineapple bun has been due to variations and attempted innovation or modifying on a classic theme to sell more. For example, putting in BBQ pork and making it a dim sum item as popularized by the likes of Tim Ho Wan and other bandwagon jumpers.
You can find a Taiwanese version of it at Sheng Kee Bakery (sometimes they may have both the TW and the HK versions, but as it has been a long time I have not really tried it).
In San Francisco a majority of bakeries (and master bakers) are not Hong Kong Chinese, mostly southern China (e.g. Toishanese), so their execution comes out different. And then you have Sheng Kee which is Taiwanese style but in a way not close.
Mr Bread as JKB has already mentioned, probably the most well balanced overall of all their offerings. I actually am not too huge on their Macanese baked egg tart, but rather their regular HK style egg tart (dan taat). Their other baked buns are decent. Their egg pie (custard like), a whole one for $7, is surprisingly great. Do try others like pizza bun or tuna.
The baked BBQ pork buns from Lung Fung Bakery are not bad and famous for yelpers, but too large and disproportionate to my liking.
A friend loves Napoleon Super Bakery (Chinatown) for their durian buns. Their other buns are a bit rough around the edges in balance, giving them more of a blue collar rustic feel, but if you are not picky these are of good size and value.
AA Bakery right across the street has some tasty savory buns (I can't recall which ones I enjoyed). Doesn't look the best structurally, but good enough.
Cherry Blossom Bakery (Clement Street) was fairly decent in memory but not my favorite.
On Noriega Street, Cafe Bakery and Restaurant has some decent selections and they're one of few places that does a near proper HK style savory chicken pie (pseudo puff pastry). Beware though, grease and butter overload. There is also a puff pastry that might have some mushrooms in it with meat, or just meat. If you are not on a diet, go for it.
Some of the dim sum restaurants in LA have started to use a pineapple filling in their pineapple buns, which I regard as an inside joke of sorts. I seem to recall bbq pork and chicken filled pineapple buns showing up at the dim sum restaurants about 20 years ago, more frequently with the creamy chicken filling. My guess is that was a way to distinguished a baked chicken bao from the smooth/honey top baked bbq pork buns.
Richmond district, I will be starting here and spreading out into the Sunset and beyond.
Lung Fung. Again, big and generous, the filling has a sweeter profile with more depth to the overall flavor, but the sweetness is not out of proportion.
Rating: toss up. I am a sucker for char siu bao.
Pineapple King. Light and moist dough. The filling seemed the most generous of all three.
Clement BBQ. The dough is not as light.
Lung Fung. The dough in buns is drier and a bit stiffer than the other two.
Rating: in order as above. The difference in size of the bun or the quality of the filling among all three was negligible.
Pineapple King: Light and moist dough with a pineapple filling that uses a custard base. Yes, I found the holy grail. I'll be testing their different bo lo bao offerings in the future.
Clement BBQ: Again, the dough is not as light as Pineapple King's, and this is the basic bun without any filling.
Lung Fung: Once more, the dough of the basic bun is a bit drier and stiffer.
Rating: in order as above. Clement BBQ's bun seemed to be the biggest. The topping on Pineapple King's bun was the most delicate.
Misc: Clement BBQ has a beef curry bun that is the size of a baked char siu bao. It seems to take a trip through the fryer. Nice dough, generous filling, but not enough of the curry, which I prefer. This does sit heavily in the stomach afterwards.
Thanks to all for their replies and insights. More tastings to be done. I'll let you know when I start the crash diet.

FDA approved apremilast to treat adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
PsA is a form of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis. Most people develop psoriasis first and are later diagnosed with PsA. Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling are the main signs and symptoms of PsA. Currently approved treatments for PsA include corticosteroids, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, and an interleukin-12/interleukin-23 inhibitor.
Safety and effectiveness of apremilast, an inhibitor of phosphodieasterase-4 (PDE-4), were evaluated in three clinical trials involving 1,493 patients with active PsA. Patients treated with apremilast showed improvement in signs and symptoms of PsA, including tender and swollen joints and physical function, compared with placebo.
Patients treated with apremilast should have their weight monitored regularly by a health professional. If unexplained or clinically significant weight loss occurs, the weight loss should be evaluated, and discontinuation of treatment should be considered. Treatment with apremilast was also associated with an increase in reports of depression compared with placebo.
FDA is requiring a pregnancy exposure registry as a postmarketing requirement to assess the risks to pregnant women related to apremilast exposure.
In clinical trials, the most common adverse effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache.

Our Brighton Marathon Runners: Joanna Harrison
Joanna Harrison and three members of her family are taking part in the Brighton Marathon on 14 April 2019 to raise money for St George's Hospital Charity, which supports St George's Hospital, Queen Mary's Hospital and community services across south west London.
In the spring of 2016 Joanna's father had double bypass heart surgery at St George's Hospital due to a congenital condition. Joanna is running the marathon to say thank you to the hospital staff who provided amazing care throughout her father's treatment:
'St George's Hospital gave my father the utmost care and attention, as well as supporting my mother, brother and me throughout what was an anxious time for our family. In turn I would like to show my deepest thanks and gratitude to St George's and all its staff by raising as much money as possible for the hospital's cause in support of their continued work and care, for all patients & their families.'
Joanna Harrison, Brighton Marathon runner for #TeamGeorges
To prepare for the Brighton Marathon Joanna has an impressive training programme leading up to the event. So far, they have already completed a 15K Rough Runner, a Full Tough Mudder and the Forest of Dean Half Marathon! Next on the agenda for Joanna is a lot more running and fundraising! Check out her JustGiving page to donate and keep up-to-date on her progress!

About St George's


Students at Manchester Metropolitan University were given the chance to fight the exam and assignment blues yesterday, by petting and playing with guide dogs and puppies training to be guide dogs, in collaboration with MMU Sports and the Guide Dogs Association.
Dogs of all ages, mostly of the Labrador breed, visited the Students Union, giving students the opportunity to relieve the stress that exam period brings.
Students who made a £3.50 donation to the Guide Dogs Association charity were able to spend 15 minutes in a room full of dogs to cuddle, whilst learning about the work the charity does and helping the younger pups to acclimatise to being around humans.
The event was designed to help the mental health of Man Met students, who may be stressed out from a range of worries relating to their course and life in general.
Event organiser, MMU Sport active lifestyle officer Abi Dean, said: "We hope that new students who are feeling a bit daunted at University or feeling homesick will take some comfort from this kind of relaxed activity."
Less than a week after National Stress Awareness Day, the event hoped to tackle the rising levels of stress across students in the UK.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at Barbican Art Gallery
The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at Barbican Art Gallery | Exhibition review
"It's been almost 40 years, can you imagine?!" laughs l'enfant terrible of fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier, before the opening of his first-ever retrospective. But after walking around The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, you certainly don't have to. From every sequin to every feather that have been styled by the master couturier, it's all there.
Captivated as a young child by his grandmother's boudoir, a chance screening of Jacques Becker's Falbalas (1945), and the fact his drawings of female figures in fishnets were the only thing that earned him the respect of his football playing schoolmates, a young Gaultier declared: "I want to do that profession!'' Despite lacking the technical skill, academic credentials, or sufficient funding ("I'm very proud to have come from nothing"), by the 1970s Gaultier was beginning to make a name for himself within Paris's chichi fashion circuit and the grittier London club scene, which is precisely what the exhibition captures: the high-end fashion of the catwalk fused with the raw edginess of the streets.
Despite looking back on the French designer's glittering career (Madonna's famous cone bra, Kylie Minogue's show girl outfits, the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier sailor) the exhibition also casts light on the future possibilities of fashion in the digital age. Dressed in exquisite Gaultier creations, mannequins made by Jolicoeur International Inc, transform the room with their blinking eyes, smiling faces, and occasional chatter. As well as singing mermaids, whose tails drip with sequins and dazzle with delight, a life-size animated mannequin of the designer, dressed in his typical nautical attire, addresses you in French upon arrival.
Next, behind a moving catwalk of mannequins, is the designer's homage to London. Capturing the DIY aesthetic of the punk era, rows of mannequins in ripped denim, tartan tops, and camouflaged evening dresses stand against a graffitied backdrop. "What I love about London," he reminisces, "is the difference…the eccentricities, the uniqueness": something that is emphasised in his reference to Britain's Pearly Queens, David Bowie, and Amy Winehouse – not forgetting his countless appropriations of the Union Jack, here represented most humorously in the form of a Mohawk.
Even more successful is the designer's celebration of his muses. From larger-than-life star Beth Ditto to the formidable Grace Jones, it didn't matter what size, skin colour or gender you were, Gaultier saw beauty and "difference" all around him.
Combining film, theatre, fashion and a touch of magic, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk is an outstanding tribute to one of the world's most creative designers.

Abstract: In this pedagogically structured article, we describe a generalized harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations in spherical symmetry which is regular at the origin. The generalized harmonic approach has attracted significant attention in numerical relativity over the past few years, especially as applied to the problem of binary inspiral and merger. A key issue when using the technique is the choice of the gauge source functions, and recent work has provided several prescriptions for gauge drivers designed to evolve these functions in a controlled way. We numerically investigate the parameter spaces of some of these drivers in the context of fully non-linear collapse of a real, massless scalar field, and determine nearly optimal parameter settings for specific situations. Surprisingly, we find that many of the drivers that perform well in 3+1 calculations that use Cartesian coordinates, are considerably less effective in spherical symmetry, where some of them are, in fact, unstable.

Morosco Theatre, where Jack appeared in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Sadly, it was torn down in 1982.
White Studio - public domain via Wikimedia Commons
All New York actors learn whether they have what it takes to succeed by appearing on stage. They begin in off-Broadway plays, which are being produced by producers, directors, and writers who have not yet proven themselves worthy of being picked up by a Broadway theater. Everyone has to start at the bottom, as they say. Jack was no different. He quickly proved that he would go far in the profession - but I expect Sanford Meisner knew that the instant Jack burst through that door "like a wild banshee," wearing his coat like a cape and discovering that he could put himself aside and become the character he was portraying.
Jack made his New York stage debut in The Illegitimist. In 1954, he appeared in a play entitled The Savage. So far, I have been unable to find information about these plays.
Flame-Out
Flame-Out was a comedy-drama that was written and directed by Alan Mowbray and produced by M. M. Productions. It opened in Hartford, Connecticut, on November 12, 1953, and closed in Washington, DC, on December 5, 1953.
Synopsis: While grounded by the rainy season on the Korean War front, a group of U.S. Air Force jet pilots hold a kangaroo court trial accusing Brown [Todd Karns] of the unnecessary death of a fellow pilot, called Chicago [Jack Kellogg], during a combat mission in which Brown downed a MiG plane, but only after the enemy pilot had destroyed Chicago. Brown reveals the truth to his comrades that Chicago, doomed by incurable cancer, asked to die a hero's death thereby assuring a pension for his wife and the memory of his death as a war hero for his son. The disbelieving group unanimously convict Brown until a medical report verifies his story.
Review: Variety did not care for Flame-Out, printing,
...As a civilian enterprise, Flame-Out fails to make the transition. In addition, the comedy-drama has been preceded by a couple of stirring plays, Mr. Roberts and Stalag 17. With these two as a basis for comparison, Flame-Out fails to meet the test ... major surgery and plasma injections might help salvage this otherwise inept comedy-drama ... sound effects (supplied by the Air Force) of jets swooping by are very realistic ...

The Little Hut
Jack played a small role in this off-Broadway production. When two men and a woman are stranded on a seemingly deserted island in the middle of the ocean, the men begin vying for the woman's attention. She is not particularly interested in either of them. But, then, an island native (Jack) arrives, and it's fireworks between him and the woman. A picture of Jack in The Little Huthas circulated on Ebay. It leaves no doubt about why the woman chose him over her male traveling companions. He wore only a loin cloth.
The Traveling Lady
The Traveling Lady was Jack's first Broadway production. Presented as a musical, The Traveling Lady, opened at the Playhouse Theatre, on Broadway, on October 27, 1954, and ran for 30 performances, ending on November 20, 1954. The script was written by Horton Foote; the music was composed by Milton Davidson.
The Traveling Lady is a story about simple people in a time gone by. It is set in a small town in South Texas. Georgette Thomas (Kim Stanley) and her young daughter, Margaret Rose (Brook Seawell), arrive to look for her husband, Henry Thomas (Lonny Chapman), whom she believes is being released from prison. Throughout his incarceration, she has been working hard to raise the money for his release. Sadly, she learns that he has been free for some time and that he has not changed his ways and has no intention of being a husband and father.
Similarly, Slim Murray's (Jack Lord) marriage ended unhappily. He is the town's mechanic and likes Georgette and her daughter. As a man, he can see through Henry Thomas and his criminal ways and worries about what will happen to mother and daughter even as he falls in love with Georgette. When Henry Thomas goes to jail for yet another of his numerous crimes, Slim and Georgette go off together.
Playwright Horton Foote was known for creating characters who felt deeply and came to life on stage. In addition to his own scripts, he wrote screenplays for television and for such movies as To Kill a Mockingbird (1962); Baby, the Rain Must Fall (1965), which was based on The Traveling Lady; and Tender Mercies (1983). The pans gave scathing reviews of Horton Foote's play, which was said to have been like too many of his other creations. The critics called it predictable.
Even so, Jack received good reviews. The Theatre World was impressed, too, for they awarded Jack the Theatre World Award for his performance as an outstanding newcomer to Broadway. As Slim, Jack spoke the very first line spoken in Act 1, Scene 1. Because it was produced as a musical, we may assume that Jack sang, as well.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play in 1955. That is the year when the play premiered on Broadway. It ran for about 18 months. Jack played the role of Brick, the alcoholic former athlete, after taking over from Ben Gazzara, who left to perform in another play. An unnamed source, who described Jack's "powerful and emotion-charged performance," said, "He really tore the theater apart."
Trivia: McGarrett and Ormsbee. If you think Jack Lord and Pat Hingle look enough alike in the Dr. Grant Ormsbee episodes ofHawaii Five-0 to have been brothers, you are not alone. Elia Kazan, producer of the 1955 Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, thought so, too, when he cast them as Brick and Gooper Pollick. Brick (Jack) and Gooper (Pat) didn't get along any better than McGarrett and Ormsbee, for Brick was the favored son, while Gooper wanted to be. Fortunately, McGarrett did not fall off his perch in his encounters with Ormsbee. Brick did.
"Crazy Cats on a Hot Tin Roof"
I was watching an episode of "What's My Line" on YouTube when I heard
a very interesting and telling line. The speaker was Arlene Francis, and she
was commenting on the four mystery challengers, who were whispering
and snickering among themselves as the panel tried to interrogate them to
learn their identities.
Growing a bit frustrated by the challengers' disruptions, Miss Francis said
they sounded like "crazy cats on a hot tin roof." The episode aired on April 1, 1956, in the middle of the Broadway run of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Jack, of course, was the starring cat in that production.
The four mystery challengers were the panel of the television program "I've
Got a Secret" and included Bill Cullen, Henry Morgan, Jayne Meadows, and Faye Emerson. The host of that show, Garry Moore, was not present.
He has humor . . . , so that he can laugh about the time he completely forgot his
lines during a Broadway performance of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof . . .

John Davis (Sandridge, oktober 1550 - nabij Bintan, 29 december 1605) was een Engelse zeevaarder en ontdekkingsreiziger.

Noordwestelijke Doorvaart
Davis vertrok op een reis op zoek naar de Noordwestelijke Doorvaart vanaf Dartmouth op 7 juni 1585, met twee schepen, de Sunshine en de Moonshine (onder William Bruton). Hij bereikte Groenland, rondde Kaap Vaarwel en volgde de westkust tot Gilbert Sound (bij Godthaab/huidige Nuuk), waar hij Inuit ontmoette. Hij stak over naar Baffineiland, dat hij bereikte bij Exeter Sound, en waarvan hij de kust zuidwaarts volgde tot Cumberland Sound. Via Groenland keerde hij naar Dartmouth terug, waar hij op 30 september aankwam.

In 1586 ondernam Davis een tweede reis met gelijke bestemming en doel. Hij vertrok op 7 mei uit Dartmouth met 4 schepen (de Mermaid, de Sunshine onder Richard Pope, de Moonshine en de North Star). Op 60°N werd de vloot in twee delen verdeeld. De Sunshine en de North Star voeren noordwaarts door Straat Denemarken totdat ze door het pakijs werden tegengehouden. De Sunshine voer vervolgens nog rond Kaap Vaarwel naar Gilbert Sound waar contact werd gemaakt met Inuit alvorens naar Engeland terug te keren.

Davis zelf, in de Mermaid en de Moonshine, voer rechtstreeks naar Gilbert Sound, en vervolgens noordwaarts langs de oostkust van Groenland tot 67°N, waar het ijs hen tegenhield. De Mermaid ging hierna terug naar Engeland, Davis ging met de Moonshine westwaarts naar Baffinland, dat werd bereikt bij Cape Walsingham. Hij volgde de kust van Baffinland en Labrador zuidwaarts tot Cape Porcupine, en beschouwde Hamilton Inlet als een mogelijke zeestraat naar het westen.

In 1587 maakte Davis zijn derde reis naar het gebied. Vertrekkend vanuit Dartmouth op 20 mei met drie schepen, de Elizabeth, de Sunshine en de Helen, voer hij dit keer rechtstreeks naar Gilbert Sound. Van daaraf ging Davis met slechts de Helen verder, de andere twee schepen werden zuidwaarts gezonden om te vissen. Davis volgde de kust van Groenland noordwaarts tot Svartenhuk (72°N), en voer vervolgens westwaarts, waarbij hij op zeker moment kwam vast te zitten in het ijs, maar uiteindelijk bij Henry Kater Peninsula (69°N) de kust van Baffinland bereikte. Hij voer zuidwaarts, onderzocht Cumberland Sound en merkte de stroming in Straat Hudson op.

De Oost
Davis zou geen verdere onderzoekingen naar de Noordwestelijke Doorvaart ondernemen. In plaats daarvan probeerde hij via meer gangbare routes de Oost te bereiken. In 1588 hielp hij mee in de strijd tegen de Spaanse armada, en in 1590-1591 trachtte hij met John Sanderson (als eerste Engelsman) via de route rond Kaap de Goede Hoop Indië te bereiken, maar dit mislukte.

In 1591-1593 voer Davis met de Desire mee met de poging van Thomas Cavendish om voor de tweede keer rond de wereld te varen. Bij de kust van Patagonië raakte hij afgescheiden van de rest van de vloot, en toen het hem niet lukte hen terug te vinden, voer hij de Atlantische Oceaan op, waarbij hij als eerste met zekerheid de Falklandeilanden zag, en daarom als hun ontdekker geldt.

In 1598 voer Davis mee met de expeditie van de Nederlander Cornelis de Houtman naar Indië. In Atjeh werd Cornelis vermoord terwijl diens broer Frederik werd gevangengenomen. Davis, die een betere verstandhouding met de sultan van Atjeh onderhield, wist te bewerkstelligen dat de Houtman werd beschuldigd van spionage (voor de graaf van Essex) en wist met twee anderen, een Engelsman en een Fransman, het schip te pakken te krijgen en te ontsnappen. Ze voeren naar de Nicobaren, en van daar terug naar Kaap de Goede Hoop en uiteindelijk naar Middelburg (aankomst juli 1600).

In 1601-1603 voer Davis opnieuw naar de Oost, ditmaal in de expeditie van James Lancaster, en in 1604 onder Edward Michelbourne. Tijdens deze laatste reis werd hij nabij Bintan (Sumatra) gedood in een conflict met Japanse piraten.

Eerbetoon
Ter ere van John Davis is in de wijk de Coevering in Geldrop een straat naar hem vernoemd, de John Davisstraat.

Green Zazen
Work by Kristi Duckworth and Nancy Morrow
Opening reception January 4, 2019
On display January 4 - February 13
Eclectic Eye
242 South Cooper
"Green Zazen," presented by Kristi Duckworth and Nancy Morrow, is a collaborative art show that inspires a contemplative state of mind. This peaceful exhibit encourages visitors to slow down and embrace natural colors and textures, as if there is nowhere to go and nothing to do except look at the clouds, listen to the wind in the trees and feel inspired by nature. Featured pieces from both artists depict phenomena of the physical world, including plants, animals and microcosm landscapes that inspire the feeling of life moving along, quietly growing and changing as time goes by.
Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Kristi Duckworth moved to Memphis, Tennessee to attended the University of Memphis in 1985. After earning a degree in graphic design, she fell in love with mosaics and combined that passion with the beauty of nature. Her work has been commissioned by organizations such as Cancer Survivors Park, the Memphis Grizzlies Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and more.
Nancy Morrow has a passion for the art and science of building and maintaining terrariums, kokedama and bonsai. She offers consultations for those who want to learn about house plants and gardening in their homes and office spaces. During a session, students learn basic considerations for selecting plants for a particular space, as well as technical skills for handling, transplanting, watering and more. Once learned, these skills open up the world of plants for all to explore and enjoy.

Group exhibition addressing the complex theme of "home." A place of home has very different meanings to all of us. Sometimes it is a memory, a sense of place, a person, a dream, a certain chaos, a metaphorical anchor, a roof over our heads.
"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society."
-Henry David Thoreau

Opening reception Friday, November 16, 5-7pm
Martha and Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art
University of Memphis/Art & Communication Building/Department of Art Rooms 230 & 240
"Press," the first solo exhibition of University of Memphis alumna Natalie Eddings (BFA, 2018), is a vicarious navigation of intergenerational racial trauma and minority stress—where it comes from, what it looks like, and how, perhaps, we deal with it. The exhibition observes collisions of the term "press"—of the past and the present, formalized in the bodies and souls of oppressed peoples featured in Eddings' layered photographic portraits.
In the exhibition, Eddings creates a dichotomy of the word "press." On one hand, she interprets it as the press, or media coverage, journalism, and the distribution of news. This understanding of "press" is described, in part, by the First Amendment of the Constitution. On the other hand, she considers "press" as a root word derived from the Latin "pressare" which means to press down, hold fast or hold down, cover, crowd, compress. This is the basis for such words as impress, depress, oppress, suppress, repress, and others. She ascribes this understanding of the word to the essential nature of oppressed peoples.
Faculty in the UofM Department of Art selected Eddings from the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts classes for this prestigious solo exhibition. An annual tradition, this exhibition provides an outstanding graduate with the opportunity to present a body of work as well as develop and execute an exhibition concept with Fogelman Galleries staff.

The Death of Fear
Opening reception Friday, November 9
Beverly + Sam Ross Gallery
Christian Brothers University
The Death of Fear explores President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 concept of Freedom from Fear from the perspective of two artists, Nelson Gutierrez and Sisavanh Houghton who immigrated to the United States. Through methods of isolation, abstraction and collage, each artist explore states of flux, the disconnection from destructive places or politics, and the fearless pursuit for a better life.This exhibition is par of For Freedoms which is a platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society. They produce exhibitions, installations, public programs, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell's paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. Their mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

Please forward this call on to other writers.
Kris Bespalec-Davis, Artist and Educator, is Guest Editor for issue 97, Relics
Call for Proposals:
Objects and images, preserved in archives, or immaterial and memorialized in the annals of memory. These are Relics. They are evocative, even provocative, and persevere through miraculous belief the traces of other cultures or markers of one's own identity. They channel people, places, events, and ideas from the recent and distant past. They can be incredibly specific, affecting individuals or transcending culture and class, impacting communities both local and global. Charged by collective belief systems or personal significance, these items are honored through display and safe-keeping.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS: POSTERS FROM PROGRESSIVE PRINT SHOPS, 1960s-1990s
Oppositional presses have been challenging the status quo in the United States since Benjamin Franklin helped form the first printers' union in the colonial period. From Quaker broadsides against slavery to posters supporting affirmative action, printers have put ink to paper in the struggle for peace and justice. Political posters held a venerable position as one of the principal modes of dissent in the nineteenth century, and they were widespread during the 1930s and 1940s until the chilling atmosphere of McCarthyism in the 1950s stifled the voices of protest. Their popularity and importance in the United States was revived during the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, and posters continue to enliven movements for social change today.
Produced by the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, in conjunction with the Progressive Printers Network, this exhibition presents prints from print shops throughout the United States and Canada addressing issues ranging from women's rights to the anti-Apartheid movement. By focusing on the printshops, the exhibition examines a unique approach to organizing for social change through collective work.

Join us for a lecture by Carol A. Wells, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) in Los Angeles, California. Wells is an activist, art historian, curator, lecturer, and writer. She has been collecting posters and producing political poster art exhibitions on a variety of human rights themes since 1981. Trained as a medievalist at UCLA, she taught the history of art and architecture for thirteen years at CSU Fullerton until a poster changed her life. In 1988, she founded CSPG, an educational and research archive with more than 90,000 social movement posters from the 19th century to the present. She believes that the power of graphics can combat public apathy and feelings of helplessness, and help open up a truly democratic arena for political debate.
This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Freedom of the Press: Posters from Progressive Print Shops, 1960s-1990s organized by the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, on view in The Martha and Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art, October 8 - November 9, 2018.

"Untitled (Big Pink)" 2014-17
Cut-paper Collage on Canvas
John McIntire
Opening Friday, September 14, 6-8pm
Work on display September 14 - November 10
Tops at Madison Avenue Park
Tops is excited to announce John McIntire, an exhibition of sculptures and drawings by the esteemed Memphis artist and enduring cultural figure.
For the show at Tops, McIntire will be exhibiting sculptures carved in marble and wood, recent drawings made on blank white baseball caps, and a selection of drawings and sketchbooks from the past 50 years.
An artist whose work is both virtuosically skillful and playfully experimental, McIntire is best known for his sculptures. The elegance and resolution of these modernist forms belie their creators restless energy. The works are solid and heavy and embody an ancient permanence. Included among these works will be McIntire'sgame sculptures. In these pieces McIntire teases the austerity of modernism by puncturing his essential forms with a maze of holes in which marbles can be inserted and expelled.
McIntire is also an artist equally engaged in the most ephemeral of forms. His interest in chance or luck incites his engagement with the overlooked and discarded. His searching impulse to glean and rescue attest to an ongoing openness to possibilities and a joy in objects. After McIntire came across some discounted white ball caps earlier this year he began making drawings on them, using the crown as a bulbous field to create unlikely scenes and transfiguring his find in the process.
A selection of sketchbooks from the past 50 years will also be on display providing glimpses into the artist's extensive involvement in Memphis culture and how his material work exists in concert with less tangible creative pursuits. From presiding over the 1960's creative hubs that were Beatnik Manor and the Bitter Lemon, to teaching sculpture for decades at the Art Academy and helping start the Memphis Country Blues Festival, McIntire has been a facilitator, collaborator, teacher, and an example for generations involved in concrete and fleeting creative endeavors. The sketchbooks on view depict sudden ideas jotted down, people (unknown and celebrated) drawn, figure studies and cartoons. These books depict whatever McIntire was involved in at the time, whether that was Furry Lewis playing at the Bitter Lemon or figure studies at the Art Academy or new plans for sculptures. All pursuits exist in these sketchbooks, as in life, one on top of another.
Wish Book: Lay of the Land with John Pearson
Exhibition of photographic works by John Pearson
Opening reception Friday September 21, 6-8pm
On view September 21 - November 30
East Gallery & East Atrium
These large-scale, landscape cyanotypes on fabric link the tactile and the visual by committing the photographic process to the physical landscape. Pearson works outdoors on the ground, making 1:1 indexical photographic prints during midday sunlight. In these photographs, view is replaced by elemental record; while the horizon, removed from the composition, becomes the topographic support and source for construction of the images.
Pearson's intention is not to convey the solely visual appearance of place — in this case, the arid southern California landscape — but rather to invoke a more dynamic experience of place by means of the transformative nature of photography.
My intention is to provide the viewer a photograph that offers an experience of the landscape that does not rely solely on visual appearance. An image of a different scope that conveys the material phenomena of a location, a more tactile involvement with the landscape, that attempts a solution to the distance conventional photography asserts. My interest is to bridge this gap between being immersed in a landscape and simply looking at it as a photograph.
These large-scale, landscape cyanotypes represent an experience of the arid Southern California landscape. They are made outdoors on the ground in the middle of the day in Griffith Park and Death Valley. This is a rudimentary photography, made without camera or film, recording the moment, the light, and the terrain of a particular but negligible plot of ground in a vast space at high noon. It is influenced by the landscape embodied in the 1940s cyanotype photograms of Anna Atkins, and it responds to the grand vistas of photographers such as Ansel Adams by bringing vision back to the body and using what is within reach: rocks, dirt, open sky, and sunlight. This series of photographs is an inquiry of place, an expression of a phenomenological sensation, and a proposition of sense.
The videos and photographs both are invested in observation, the presence and action of light, the parallels of light entering the shadowed interior of the camera and the eye functioning as an aperture to the blackness of the body's interior. That dependence of light on darkness interests me. Video provides a physicality to the process of making images, a physicality that links vision back to the body, to movement and pulse, rather than the mechanical idealized view of the camera. Video is more performative and allows for an intuitive, animated exploration of light.
Curated by Terri Phillips and Brian Pera in collaboration with Crosstown Arts:
The Wish Book series is a series focusing on non-traditional approaches to film as a medium. Curators Brian Pera and Terri Phillips welcome internationally recognized artists, filmmakers, and critics to Memphis for this exciting series, which takes its name from the famed Sears Catalog and is hosted by Crosstown Arts at Crosstown Concourse, itself once a major Sears distribution center.

Court blasts Toll over workplace safety
Toll fined $220,000 for OHS breach, as judge tells trucking industry to lift its game
By Brad Gardner | May 21, 2009
Trucking operators have been warned to focus on safety at depots after Toll was fined more than $200,000 for the death of a truck driver.
Robert John Starr was folding a tarpaulin in the middle of a thoroughfare at Toll's Wagga Wagga depot when he was run over by a truck at 1am in 2004.
The NSW Industrial Court heard Toll did not have a system of separating pedestrians and vehicles and failed to conduct a risk assessment of the depot, while Starr was not given an on-site safety induction.
The company pleaded guilty to breaching the Occupational Health and Safety Act and was fined $220,000, with Justice Trish Kavanagh saying the penalty should serve as a wake-up call to the industry.
"A rigorous approach is needed by all employers conducting work within the transport industry which involves the movement of such vehicles and this is especially so in their confined depot areas," she says.
"An element of general deterrence is necessary in the consideration as to penalty to remind the industry of the necessary insistence on not only defined safe working models, but the performance of tasks in accordance with those safe working modules."
Kavanagh accused Toll of ignoring safety standards because it knew drivers worked in the middle of a thoroughfare but did nothing to rectify the situation.
"There were obvious steps that could have been taken which, either singly or in combination, would have eliminated or reduced the risk," she says.
Toll could have been fined up to $825,000 due to previous safety breaches, with Kavanagh saying the company "does not have a fine industrial record".
But lawyers for the company questioned why other parties were not held liable for the accident because Starr was not a direct employee of Toll.
The court was told Starr worked for Wayne Lewis Transport, which provided safety vests and told its drivers to wear them when required.
Toll also wanted action taken against the driver who ran Starr over but its pleas were rejected because there was no evidence the driver was speeding.
"I accept the driver did not see Mr Starr who, by inference, was bent over his truck's tarpaulin in the dark in a traffic carrying and not wearing a safety vest," Kavanagh says.
The area also suffered from poor lighting and Kavanagh says there was no evidence the driver was speeding.
Since the incident Toll has installed additional lights, traffic lines, parking signs and designated work areas, while also reviewing its induction process and ensuring safety vests are worn.


A shareholder in the J.P. Morgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Fund adviser. The complaint alleges that J.P. Morgan Investment Management charged excessive advisory fees to this captive mutual fund, compared to: (1) a third-party sub-advisory relationship; (2) another J.P. Morgan Fund with a similar investment strategy and portfolio holdings; and (3) the average advisory fee charged to comparable large cap funds. Additionally, the complaint states that the 0.80% advisory fee contained no breakpoints (i.e., reduced fee levels) as the Fund grew to $10 billion in assets.
J.P. Morgan filed a motion to dismiss the case on June 21, 2017. The plaintiff filed an opposition brief on August 4, and J.P. Morgan filed a reply brief on August 29.
J.P. Morgan filed its reply brief on August 29, 2017. J.P. Morgan argued that its fees were within a range of arm's length bargaining and in compliance with the Gartenberg factors and the standards articulated by the U.S. Supreme Court in Jones v. Harris Associates.
The plaintiff filed a brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss on August 4, 2017. Her brief argued that J.P. Morgan charged fees far in excess of the average fees paid by comparable funds for the same services.
On June 21, 2017, J.P. Morgan filed a motion to dismiss the case. J.P. Morgan argued that the plaintiff's fee comparisons do not show that the mutual fund at issue paid excessive advisory fees.
On April 27, 2017, a shareholder in the J.P. Morgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund filed an excessive fee lawsuit against J.P. Morgan Investment Management. The complaint alleges that the adviser charged higher fees to this captive mutual fund when compared to other large cap funds and sub-advisor arrangements. The complaint also states that the 0.80% advisory fee was not reduced as a percentage of assets as Fund assets grew to $10 billion.

Measure 2 tbsp of coffee beans.
Using a grinder, grind the coffee beans on the coarsest setting using your grinder. Grind until it takes a flour-like form.
With a scale, weigh coffee and water. The coffee-to-water ratio should be between 1:16 and 1:18. For proper ratio sizes, click here.
Pour CFP's French Press grind or medium-coarse coffee grounds into the French Press Coffee Maker.
Heat the water to below boiling 200-205 °F. Heat the water in a stovetop or kettle to boiling, then remove from heat and allow water to sit for about 1-2 min.
Instead of immediately filling up the French press once your water is hot, wet the grinds first and let them stand for 30 seconds. This will allow the coffee to bloom, and give any carbon dioxide that's in the grinds time to escape so it doesn't sour your brewed coffee.
After the grounds have been damp for 30 seconds, pour the rest of the water.
Stir the brew using the wooden stirrer.
Steep coffee for 4 minutes. Feel free to use your phone or timer to time 4 minutes from the time water hits the coffee.
Directly after 4 minutes, press down the plunger to the bottom.
Enjoy your coffee! Sweeten the coffee to taste. If you won't be drinking all of it right away, pour the remainder into a thermal carafe to prevent over-extraction. Sip & Enjoy!
